Chapter 9: Hanging by a Thread

  A master of the Refining Bone Realm is indeed extraordinary, as soon as he makes a move. Previously, Liu Suizhen could defeat his opponents with just one move, but now he has to draw his sword and create three circular rings to protect himself from being injured, although these sword rings contain endless killing moves, they are already in a defensive position.

  But this move fell into Pang Qing's eyes, and he saw through Liu Suoyun's intentions: "Damn it, this dog thief deliberately challenged my Pang family before, and it was just to get a few more points of breathing space for himself!"

  Just thinking that he was intimidated by Liu Suizhen's false pretenses, Pang QingSong, as the rising star of the Pang family in recent years, was truly furious. His long sword danced up countless sword flowers and attacked straight on, leaving no room for mercy.

  He unleashed his full set of skills, with a sword aura that was oppressive and piercing to the bone, causing onlookers to retreat in succession. Some martial artists with lower cultivation levels retreated as many as seven or eight steps back. Liu Qingyun's face remained resolute, although he was struggling to hold on like a firefly in the night sky amidst Pang Qingsong's sword waves. His knife movements became increasingly swift and intricate, often concealing deadly killing intent.

  Pang Qingsong couldn't help but repeatedly exclaim in surprise, this was just a martial artist who had entered the tiger's lair, yet he really did have some skills on his hands, these knife rings of his often hid extremely vicious killing moves, forcing Pang Qingsong to retreat and defend himself with his sword, until now, the blades of the two sides still hadn't clashed once.

  This won't do, Pang Qing Song knew that his advantage lay in his strength being several times stronger than Liu Qing Yun's, let alone the fact that this Liu Su Yun was indeed injured. As long as both sides competed in terms of strength, the old injury would inevitably recur. Therefore, he launched a sword attack directly at the center of a knife ring, actually forcing Liu Su Yun to engage in a fierce battle with him.

  Liu Suiyun had no choice but to retreat, so he immediately turned his spear into a cleaver and clashed with Pang QingSong in a fierce battle, shouting loudly: "Die!"

  Pang Qing saw that Liu Suizhen's footsteps were unstable, and he retreated two or three steps back. Knowing that his plan was foolproof, he felt proud in his heart. His long sword attacked continuously like a tidal wave, striving to cut down Liu Suizhen under the sword.

  At the moment of their encounter, he also felt that this fighting style was vaguely familiar, and even the person himself had a vague impression, but he really couldn't think of who this person was. He could only confirm one thing, which was that before today, he shouldn't have met such a difficult opponent.

  Gu Yinghua couldn't help but exclaim, she had already seen that Liu Suoyun's situation was extremely dangerous. Just as Huo Qianshu thought of killing his way into the battlefield, he was immediately blocked by the remaining Bone Refining Realm warrior from the Pang family, along with six or seven other warriors. Meanwhile, Pang Qingyang had taken control of the entire field, forcing Liu Suoyun to retreat repeatedly, and it seemed that they would soon be clashing swords again.

  Liu Suiyun was already in a desperate situation, and Pang Qingsong swung out another unstoppable heavy sword, having made up his mind to end the battle with this one sword. At least, he wanted to chop Liu Suiyun so badly that he would cough up blood on the spot.

  Both parties clashed, and Liu Suizhen was forced back three or four steps, his face as white as gold paper. Pang Qingsong was triumphant, but suddenly saw Liu Suizhen spit out a mouthful of blood. This mouthful of blood was spat out at the exact moment when he had exhausted his old strength and hadn't yet summoned new energy. What's more, his eyes were blinded by the blood, and because of this huge mouthful of blood, he couldn't see anything in front of him.

  The sudden change caught Pang QingSong off guard, he wanted to wipe away the blood from his eyes with one hand, while using the other to wield the silver sword with all his might, trying to protect himself completely. However, in his heart, everything suddenly became clear, and he realized where Liu SuiYun came from. He didn't expect this formidable enemy to be colluding with Gu YingHua. His mouth immediately blurted out: "This is..."

  As soon as he spoke, he heard a burst of exclamation beside him, and then he only felt his body in severe pain, and then he lost consciousness, unable to see the world again.

  "Green Pine!"

  "Fat Green Pine!"

  "Green Pine!"

  It's now the turn of the Pang family and the Tianyi gang's martial artists to be stunned, they clearly saw Pang Qingsong's offensive surge, forcing Liu Suoyun to retreat repeatedly, but unexpectedly, Liu Suoyun spat out a mouthful of blood, and Pang Qingsong was completely unprepared, only knowing to frantically swing his long sword to protect himself from all sides. Unexpectedly, Liu Suoyun silently and stealthily bypassed the sword net woven by Pang Qingsong like a ghost cat, and with one knife, he beheaded Pang Qingsong.

  Liu Suoyun stepped on Pang Qing's corpse and shouted loudly: "Pang family's little dog, who dares to fight me!"

  This is how many? Everyone roughly calculated, and it was already the sixth one.

  Before that, Liu's sword rose and fell, and he had actually killed two Tu Duo borders, one Bao Hu border, one Bao Hu border and one Lian Qi initial stage combination. Now even Pang Qing Song, a master of Lian Gu border, was also beheaded by him, who knows how many more abilities this person has.

  Although Liu Su Yun's face was deathly pale, this magnificent feat added endless momentum to him: "Pang family's little dog, who dares to fight me!"

  No one dares to come out now, the Allied Forces only have a Bone Refining Realm martial artist from the Pang family left. However, on Gu Yinghua's side, apart from Liu Suizhen, there is also Huo Qianshu, a true Bone Refining Realm cultivator who has not yet made a move, already possessing an overwhelming advantage. Not to mention Liu Suizhen's thunderous momentum just now, which has shocked this group of martial artists, the Tianyi Gang's warriors are retreating one after another.

  The allied forces were overwhelmingly superior in number, and no one dared to come forward. Liu Suizhen heavily trampled on Pang Qingsong's head with his foot, still holding the quick knife to challenge: "Pang family dog, who dares to fight me!"

  The remaining Bone Refining Realm warrior of the Pang family was about to go into battle, but then thought that his own martial arts cultivation was slightly inferior to that of Pang Qingyang. Since even Pang Qingyang had been defeated, going up himself would be tantamount to seeking death. He stopped in his tracks: "Why don't we go together? The few dozen of us can surround and kill this Liu Suoyun."

  He hesitated for a moment, and the warriors of the Tianyi Gang on the other side were no longer willing to intervene. This matter was originally not closely related to them, they came to help only because of the golden signboard of the Pang family. Now that the Pangs have retreated, it's natural that they shouldn't sacrifice themselves for the Pangs: "This Liu Suoyun is too ruthless, let's withdraw quickly!"

  "Brothers of the Pang family, hold on, we'll bring reinforcements for you!"

  "Pull out quickly, pull out quickly, if you don't pull out now, you won't be able to get out!"

  They did what they said, and in an instant, they withdrew cleanly, leaving only three or five of the Pang family's warriors on this mountain top. On the contrary, it made Gu Yinghua slightly superior in number. Now Huo Qianmu immediately led his men to surround them.

  The Pang family didn't bring many people this time, and they were also the dragon that crossed the river, so this team of people was only two Bone Refining Realm cultivators and one Qi Refining Early Stage cultivator holding down the fort. Now that one of the Bone Refining Realm cultivators had been defeated, adding to the loss of a Tiger Fighting Realm cultivator and the combination of the Qi Refining Early Stage cultivator, they immediately appeared weak and outnumbered.

  Liu Suiyun's foot was still on Pang QingSong's back, the ground creaked: "Pang family's little dog, who dares to fight me!"

  "Fall back!"

  Facing such an unfavorable situation, the Pang family can only take the thirty-sixth trick of retreating as the best strategy. It is worth noting that the strong hands of the Pang family are not in the minority this time, and their master can also rush to Yunzhong County at any time. At that time, they will bring a large team of good hands to kill back, ensuring that they can wipe out Gu Yinghua's group completely.

  Among them, the weakest was like a rabbit being pushed to the wall, and he immediately ran wildly down the mountain. Huo Qianshu chased after him but couldn't catch up, and could only let them escape: "Turtle grandson, if you have the ability, come and fight with Fire Dage."

  The Pong family also lost momentum but not to people, and in the remaining sunlight, they left their ruthless words: "Huojian Shu, you wait, I'll give you a good show when I come back, you have the ability to wait!"

  Gu Yinghua saw their figures disappear into the distant mountains, and finally let out a sigh of relief. This feeling of being controlled by fate was too terrible, she shouldn't be so helpless after all. But seeing Liu Suoyun's heroic figure stepping on Pang Qingsong's back, she, who didn't usually like bloody scenes, felt a sense of pride and satisfaction. She walked up to Liu Suoyun: "Liu Suoyun, you..."

  She hadn't even spoken the words when Liu Suoyun suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards uncontrollably, her face completely drained of color.

  "Yú Suí Yún!" Gu Yinghua took three steps in two strides, and didn't even notice the bloodstains on Yu Suí Yún's body as she hugged his waist: "Yu Suí Yún! Yu Suí Yún! Are you alright? I won't let anything happen to you, young master!"

  Huojian Shu brought a group of young people who had already surrounded him, Liu Suoyun was the backbone of the entire team, and without him, it wouldn't work: "How is it?"

  "Is everything all right?"

  "Who has Band-Aids?"

  In the midst of the chatter, Gu Yinghua had already helped Liu Suizhen lean against a flat area at the top of the mountain and anxiously asked: "Suizhen, don't scare me! Don't have any accidents!"

  She didn't mind at all that Liu Suoyun was now covered in blood and sweat all over her body, and even got her sleeves stained with bloodstains, which would probably be impossible to wash off no matter how hard she tried.

  In her heart, Liu Suizhen's image suddenly became extremely tall and majestic, not only because he cut down six good hands like a rabbit rising from the east and a falcon swooping down from the west, but also because he was clearly no match for one battle, yet with great fanfare, he raised his knife to challenge dozens of good hands. By relying on his own wisdom and clever calculations, he turned the tide of the battlefield, scaring the allied forces of the Big Peng family into a state of utter panic.

  She had seen many great masters in her life, and witnessed countless grand scenes, but never had a fight that made her feel this way. She was terrified, afraid that the man she had just met would slowly fade away in her arms.

  Liu Suiyun slowly opened his eyes after a while and asked, "Liu Xing, have we suffered any casualties?"

  A group of people looked at each other in dismay, Liu Xing had already died on the spot in the previous fight. Someone was about to cry, but someone immediately replied: "Liu Xing was injured just now and is resting there, thanks to Brother Liu's timely return, only two brothers were injured."

  Liu Suiyun's eyes suddenly flashed with a few threads of hope: "Then it's good, then it's good..."

  He was seriously injured and spoke in a disjointed manner, but his words were still coherent: "No matter what... fellow villagers... I must bring you all back..."

  Just as he spoke, another small mouthful of fresh blood came out. Gu Yinghua's jade hand and sleeve were stained with blood, but she couldn't care about this outer garment that she usually loved: "Don't say anything else, don't say anything else, rest well..."

  Liu Suiyun had reached the point of life hanging by a thread, fortunately his mind was extremely clear, he said in a low voice: "Miss Gu... Huo brothers... all brothers, if I don't make it, there's one more thing I'd like to ask!"
